"I See a Red Door and I..." - Black and Dark Non-Metallic Metal Painting Tutorial

So, for my first tutorial, I'm focusing on a favorite area of mine- I consider myself pretty proficient in lighting and contrast, so NMM techniques was a clear first option.

This tutorial will be primarily about working primarily with glossy blacks and NMM, though the techniques could be applied to most high-contrast techniques and I'll make a few notes throughout on how this can be adapted.

This also covers a few of my preferences on paints and techniques.

I'll be using a Studio McVey Sedition Wars mini as the basis for this demo.

Hunting the Hunters - Magnetized 2nd edition Predator Destrouctor/Annihilator

I'm a big fan of the versatility represented in the Predator builds, be it tank hunter or anti-infantry/light vehicle (though I'm not a fan of mixed weaponry).

Clobberin' Time - Malifaux Rail Golem

I have a bad habit of deciding big models aren't big enough.

B Squad Leader - Samaritan Color Test

After doing a kind of standard job with my own Samaritans, going with something strikingly different was a lot of fun. I'm not really sure what else to say on this- the paint job went very smoothly, even if it did come out a little brighter than the X-COM reference. More Sedition Wars dudes to follow...

Feelin' Blue - Kingdom Death Twilight Knight

The Kingdom Death line has done nothing but impress me, and the Twilight Knight was no exception.

Irregulars - More WWII Soviets (and some fun historical trivia)

Company B's GAZ-AAA was probably my favorite vehicle from this set of historical minis.

Goin' Out West - Western-themed Malifaux Zombies

Guess what? I still like bleak, Western-themed stuff.
